Oh by the way...I am glad you had a good experience at JoAnn's. I have not always been really impressed with them. I even worked at JoAnn's for a short time. It was company policy to cut right on the mark. If it was a yard you cut exactly a yard, etc. I had worked in fabric stores before and we always allowed at least a thumb's width more for that little bit of shrinkage. So just to let everyone know when you shop at JoAnn's and you need a certain amount of fabric you may want to be safe and ask for 1/8 yard more. I still shop at JoAnn's but don't buy alot of fabric there, except for fleece!
